Has anyone else noticed that they're not using the 'George Soros' dogwhistle anymore?

I just find that interesting. All the republicans that were throwing out the antisemitic dogwhistles are suddenly zionists. Its just very odd.

1. Ted Cruz Did

Just the other day. Probably to distract from the billionaires that own him, like Harlan Crow.

2. A conservative publisher actually had ties to Soros. Litigation ensued.

The revelation that All Seasons Press backer Scott Bessent was a protégé of the billionaire Democratic donor triggered a backlash and conspiracy theories

All Seasons Press launched in 2021 with a mission: publishing the conservative books that mainstream houses were scared to touch. Run by two editors who had left jobs at “Big Five” publishers, All Seasons earned profiles in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. It became a haven for Trump administration officials whose support of the former president after the Capitol insurrection might have made them toxic in other publishing circles.

White House veterans Peter Navarro and Mark Meadows both signed with All Seasons, with Meadows receiving a $350,000 advance for a memoir of his time as Donald Trump’s chief of staff. All Seasons bought several other books, including an admiring biography of Tucker Carlson. But behind the fanfare, All Seasons was harboring a secret: the origin of the money that was funding all those six-figure book contracts.

None of the news releases or articles revealed that the company was funded by Scott Bessent, a mega-wealthy investor with a track record of high-profile donations to Republican candidates and sterling conservative credentials — except for the fact that he got his big break in finance as a protégé of billionaire Democratic donor and right-wing boogeyman George Soros.

The revelation triggered a major backlash — a critical article from conservative journal Tablet and a lawsuit from an author who accused Bessent of essentially entrapping conservative writers with the promise of big paydays, then refusing to publish their books.

3. Allegiances are just vaporware for these clowns!

[we can do it]

4. Oh they are. Just saw some shit on Nextdoor.

5. The strategy is to flood the zone with shit. There are no principles. Facts don't matter.

If Biden is vulnerable on Gaza, then they squelch the Soros bullshit. Everything is a performance.

6. Perhaps, they're getting more mileage from racism than anti-semitism.

Besides, if Kushner is planning to level Gaza to the ground and build hotels (as rumors say he wants to) then ....

[stopdiggin]

7. your eyes (and media feed) are pointed in a different direction than mine

Believe me, the antisemitism (and Soros punching bag) are alive and quite well ..

Maybe the Mar-a-Lago sycophants have a slightly different tune these days - but the knuckle draggers gonna' do knuckles

[brewens]

8. He may even be popping up a little more now. My BIL just posted a Soros meme the other day. n/t

[sboatcar]

10. Oh the antisemitism is still strong

Just now they're also zionists, because the whole gaza thing makes Biden look bad.

[ZonkerHarris]

9. some GOP congresscritter just used it on CNN the other day

[brooklynite]

11. Why do you assume that's the case?

Plenty of Soros content in RW media:

13. RW boogeymen come and go, their people have short attention spans.

When was the last time you heard about Critical Race Theory?

14. For a few years

many of my FB posts are about the amount of money Soros is paying Trump to undermine the Republican Party. Let the MAGAts chew on that for a while.
